After market Radio issue

Obbly97

Hi guys

I thought this might be a good place to post my issue as I am having a hard time finding anyone willing to look at my issue near me.

I bought an aftermarket radio last year and it has recently began acting up, I have factory reset the device twice and looked at the wiring and cannot find any obvious issues. I have called mechanics asking anyone near me who might have an idea who would be able to look at the car or to even diagnose the issue for me.

I am just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to whom might be willing to look at a car with an after market radio, I am willing to drive to get it looked at.

A mechanic is unlikely to be able to help you, beyond checking the wiring which I think you have already done. My best guess would be the aerial connection but if you want a professional to have a look, I'd find a local guy who installs after market phone kits and ask him to check the radio and the wiring. It's very unlikely that the radio itself is serviceable, you will need to invoke the warranty and ask the seller to repair or replace if you can't identify a fault with the wiring.

It might help people here if you gave the make and model of both the radio and the car.

I have checked all of the wiring there is definitely no obvious signs of stress on that side of it anyways. I'm not for definite sure the make and model but I have found a similar model on amazon which looks the exact same and has the same specs as my radio from the car. I also have a Ford Focus 2014 MK3.

Boards will not let me post any links as I have not made enough posts however I can upload a picture of what the radio looks like.

Hopefully that is helpful. This has the exact same specs (2GB RAM and 32GB Storage) and looks virtually the same to the radio that I have in the car.

I will for sure do more looking for someone local who install these types of kits, I have had no luck as of yet but perhaps after the bank holiday I may have some luck, seems to difficult to find anyone who can do these types of things in my area.

• It came in a box - which showed the make and model?
• You have an owner's manual - which shows the make and model?
• You ordered it online, so you have an e-mail with the order confirmation - which shows the make and model?
• And you're not prepared to quote the make and model of or provide a link to the 'similar model' you can see on Amazon?

You're not making it easy for us, are you?

When you say 'acting up' what is the radio doing or not doing? A clear description of the fault and make / model of the radio would be a useful start.

You're unlikely to get much help with the very vague information in your original post.
